A place for everything, and everything in it's place.

Being a little OCD, I have a compulsive need to put things where they're supposed to go.
It drives my messy family completely nuts.
But - and here's the thing...
A couple of weeks ago, the man hid away a roll of $100 bills. Total $5K.
For the last 2 days, he's been going nuts because he can't find it.
Several rooms have been completely turned upside-down, and he's beginning to go a little mental.
I have totally resisted the urge to dance around him screeching "I told you so!"(mainly because in his current frame of mind I seriously doubt I'll get anything other than a swift backhander!)

But, oh, how I long to say it

I shouldn't find it funny - it is five thou, after all - but it is kinda hilarious. I keep leaving the room he's tearing apart right now to go outside and have a little giggle

My father laid down a set of keys in 1968 that I found in 1986.


If you just put shit in one of three places or so . . . .

What the fuck kind of banking system do you guys have over there OR did the money come from dubious sources?

Because If I had a roll of 5K it wouldn't be stuffed under a mattress!

Did he look under the mattress?

My point exactly!
Heh - he's just told me he got up at 2am this morning and checked the guest room.
But he made sure to put every single thing back precisely as he found it, so I wouldn't go spastic when I saw it!

This is getting funnier

Did he check the refrigerator? I once lost my keys to only find them there after AAA came. On a side note there are this new things called banks....

It was given in cash, and it was over the holidays. No banks open.
He has looked pretty much everywhere!

Normally, he's the kinda guy who after he uses something, just puts it down wherever he happens to be. Then I come along and pick those things up and put them away.
(I have a HUGE issue with clutter.)

This time, his sideways-thinking brain has had him put something somewhere so safe, not even he can remember where!

Wow! All I got for Xmas was another pair of slippers that don't fit from my mother-in-law...

Not to imply anything, but are you sure that someone else living with you didn't find it first?

It's just we two, and my 19 yr old and 15 yr old atm.
And both boys are honest to a fault.

Our end of the house can be locked, which is what we do when visitors come round (don't want them seeing our 'personal' stuff - and the boys NEVER come into our part of the house.)

No. He's tucked this money away somewhere in our bedroom, retreat, office or bathroom/robe, and just can't remember where!
And I am refusing to help him look for it!

It wasn't a gift - it was money from a sale.

So he says.

In re: your thread title, that was a Shaker principle. The had a system of numbers and letters that identified every cabinet in every building in the village. You could pick up a hammer in the back forty and it would say something like "A2C12B" on it, building A, 2nd floor, cabinet 12, shelf B.

Communists.

 

[Peregrinator]

So he says.

That was my thought. Lapdances and cocaine on her tits...

 

[BossMan62]

I hope a visitor didnt take it. That would suck to lose 5 grand. Did he check your bra?

 

[warrior queen]

So he says.

A big bonus in all this, is he's actually getting pissed off with all his mess!
And he's sorting shit out and packing it away.

What a great idea!
I could organise my house into zones...

 

[John Doe]

Don't you have banks in Australia?

Haha - he would never go into my things!
We are very big on personal privacy here - other people's things are off-limits.

P.S. I only own 2 bras. Hardly ever wear them. Don't have to My perky, upstanding tits are one of my best assets!

It worked well for them in their communistic society. They were seriously impressive organizers.

Isn't it about time you posted a picture of those tits already?

I guess an av change is in order
It'll have to wait till a little later today - my photographer is busy stomping around the house ranting about lost money and how he should have 'damn well put shit where it's meant to go!' No way am I interrupting him atm, this is way too much fun (and he's liable to snap my head off!)

Av changed.
A single tit tho - fucking 150 x 150 rule
On the tablet, I can't resize. I can only crop.

I love it! You're awesome. I'm trying to think of a suitable response. In the mean time, I'm right clicking...

Oh, and Lady P laughed happily and agreed with me "That's very sweet."

It was quite hard writing neatly upside-down!

It is, I know! I wrote a message to Piove Essa on my chest once, and it took several tries...and then I realized the mirror and camera canceled each other out, so I had to re-do it NOT in mirror writing...
